Spring has sprung – yes and I can't breathe. The flowers and green grass are lovely, though being doped up on the appropriate allergy medications is essential for my survival out in the wild outdoors (of the city?). As I wait for the wonder drugs to kick in, I'm curious to know – since I have been on this medication, and a variety of others for so long – do these little pills really work? Are the next 24 hours truly made comfortable by small, white clumps of stuff that relieve sinus pressure? If I were to take sugar pills, placebos, would it have the same effect? What if I have just been playing mind games with myself, tricking my gullible head into thinking little pills make a difference?
